This light comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position (engine off) or the operation mode is put in ON.When the engine is started, the light should go off a few seconds later. A warning is also displayed in the multi information display. The warning light also illuminates after start- ing the engine under the following condi-tions.  When the parking brake is still applied.  When the brake fluid level is low.  When the brake system circuit is not working properly.
When the vehicle is moving at more than 5 mph (8 km/h) and parking brake applied, a buzzer will sound to inform the driver that theparking brake is not properly release. Before driving, be sure
that the parking brake
is fully released and
brake warning light is
off.

This indicator is a part
of the onboard diag-
nostic (OBD) system which monitors the emissions, engine control system or auto- matic transaxle cont
rol system/continuously
variable transmission
(CVT) control system.
If a problem is detected in one of these sys- tems, this indicator illuminates or flashes. When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put inON, this indicator
normally comes on and
goes off after the engine has started. This indicator will come on if the fuel tank filler cap is not properly tightened. If thisindicator comes on and stays on after refuel- ing, stop the engine and check that the cap is properly tightened. (Turn the cap clockwiseuntil you hear clicking sounds.) If this indicator does not go off after several seconds or lights up while driving, have thesystem checked as soon as possible at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility
of your choice.
Warning lights Brake warning light and buzzer
CAUTIONIf the brake warning light and the Anti-lock braking system warning
light are illuminated
at the same time, the braking force distribu-tion function will not ope
rate, so the vehicle
may be destabilized during sudden braking under the following conditions.• When the brake warning light does not goout even when the parking brake isreleased.• When the brake warning light stays onwhile driving.• If the above occurs, avoid sudden brakingand high-speed driving. Park the vehicle in a safe place, and contact an authorized Mit- subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility ofyour choice as soon as possible.
 The vehicle should be brought to a halt in the following manner when brake performance is deteriorated.• Confirm that the vehicle slows down whenyou press down on the brake pedal harder than usual. In some cases, the brake pedalmay go all the way to the floor.• Should the brakes fail, use engine brakingto reduce your speed and slowly apply the parking brake. Depress the brake peda
l to illuminate the
stop lights to alert
the vehicles
behind you.

Can only be used when the ignition switch or the operation mode is in ON. If the lever is put in the “AUTO” position, the rain sensor (A) will detect the extent of rain(or snow, other moisture, dust, etc.) and the wipers will operate automatically. Keep the lever in the “OFF” position if thewindshield is dirty a
nd the weather is dry.
Wiper operation under th
ese conditions can
scratch the windshield and damage the wip-ers.

Utility vehicles have
higher ground clearance
and a narrower track, which enables them to perform in a wide variety of off-road situa-tions. Because of the higher ground clear- ance, these vehicles have a higher center of gravity, which makes them handle differentlythan ordinary vehicles when driving on pave- ment. They are not designed to maneuver or corner at the same speed on pavement as con-ventional 2-wheel driv
e passenger cars any
more than low-slung sports cars are designed to perform sati
sfactorily in off-road condi-
tions. Always drive safely and steer the vehicle carefully. Avoid operati
ng the vehicle in a
manner that might require sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers. As w
ith other vehicles of
this type, failure to ope
rate this vehicle cor-
rectly can result in loss of control or vehicle rollover. In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is sig-nificantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. Be
fore starting the vehi-
cle, always make cert
ain that you and all your
passengers are properly wearing their seatbelts (with children in the rear seat, in appro- priate restraints).
N00628801188
Fuel economy is depe
ndent on many factors.
Your personal driving habits can have a sig- nificant effect on your fuel consumption. Several recommendations
for achieving the
greatest fuel economy are listed below.  Whenever accelerating from a stop, always accelerate
slowly and smoothly.
 When parked for even a short period, do not idle the engine. Shut it off. Plan your trips to avoid unnecessary stops.  Keep your tires inflated to the recom- mended pressures.  When driving on highways or dry improved roads, set the drive mode-selec-tor “4WD ECO”, “4WD AUTO” or “AWC ECO”, “NORMAL” position (if so equipped). For freeway driving, maintain a speed of approximately 50 mph (80 km/h) when traffic, roadway and weather conditionssafely permit.
 Keep your air filter clean and your vehicle lubricated according
to the recommenda-
tions in this manual.  Always keep your ve
hicle well main-
tained. A poorly maintained enginewastes fuel and costs money.  Never overload your vehicle.
N00628900049
Drunk driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents.Your driving ability ca
n be seriously impaired
even with blood alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you
have been drinking,
don’t drive. Ride with a designated non- drinking driver, call a cab or a friend, or use public transportation. Drinking coffee or tak-ing a cold shower will not make you sober. Similarly, prescription and nonprescription drugs affect your aler
tness, perception and
reaction time. Consul
t with your doctor or
pharmacist before dr
iving while under the
influence of any of these medications.

For a safer and more enjoyable trip, always check for the following:  Before starting the vehicle, make certain that you and all passengers are seated and wearing their seat
belts properly (with
children in the rear seat, in appropriate restraints), and that all the doors and the liftgate are locked. Move the driver’s seat as far backward as possible, while keep
ing good visibility,
and good control of the steering wheel,brakes, accelerator,
and controls. Check
the instrument panel
indicators and multi-
information display for any possible prob-lem.  Similarly, the front
passenger seat should
also be moved as far back as possible. Make sure that infa
nts and small children
are properly restrained in accordance with all laws and regulations.
Check these by selecting the defroster mode, and set the blower swit
ch on high. You should
be able to feel the air blowing against thewindshield. Refer to “Defrosti
ng or defogging (wind-
shield, door windows)” on page 7-13 Check all the tires for heavy tread wear or uneven wear patterns. Look for stones, nails, glass, or other objects
stuck in the tread. Look
for any tread cuts or
sidewall cracks. Check
the wheel nuts for tightness, and the tires (including spare tire) for proper pressure. Replace your tires before they are heavilyworn out. As your vehicle is equi
pped with a tire pres-
sure monitoring system, there is a risk ofdamage to the tire inflation pressure sensors when the tire is replaced on the rim. Tire replacement should, only, be performed by anauthorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Have someone watch while you turn all the exterior lights on and off. Also check the turn
signal indicators and hi
gh-beam indicators on
the instrument panel. Check the ground under the vehicle after parking overnight, for
fuel, water, oil, or
other leaks. Make sure
all the fluid levels are
correct. Also, if you
can smell fuel, you need
to find out why imme
diately and have it
fixed.

Even this vehicle’s sa
fety equipment, and
your safest driving, ca
nnot guarantee that you
can avoid an accident or injury. However, ifyou give extra attention to the following areas, you can better protect yourself and your passengers:  Drive defensively. Be aware of traffic, road and weather conditions. Leave plenty of stopping distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead. Before changing lanes, check your mir- rors, blind spots, and use your turn-signal light. While driving, watch the behavior of other drivers, bicyc
lists, and pedestrians.
